It was later changed to "G2" (or "G Squared") Films from 1999-2000 after Samuel Goldwyn, Jr. sued MGM for using the "Goldwyn" name without his permission.
+G2 Films (stylized as "G² Films") was originally formed in 1997 following [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer]]'s purchase of the [[Goldwyn Entertainment Company]], which was re-established as MGM's indie/arthouse division.

In 2000, the company was folded into [[United Artists]], which then became MGM's primary specialty/arthouse division.
